Story
In 1965, Tissot revolutionized their lineup with the PR 516, a watch designed to handle the vibrations of high-speed racing and the rigors of an active lifestyle.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1853 by the father-son duo Charles-Félicien and Charles-Émile Tissot, the company is a titan of Swiss watchmaking history.
Condition & Value
The case shows noticeable wear to the gold plating, particularly on the lugs and edges, revealing the base metal beneath. The leather strap is heavily degraded and requires replacement. However, the dial appears remarkably clean and well-preserved, which is the most important factor for vintage watch collectors.
